– I do it for quick money, explains the “trick doctor” in court. The mother of small children from Froland has defrauded a number of people over several years. Now she is again accused of fraud. On Monday, the trial against her started in Agder district court in Arendal. – We are talking about fraud over several years. She puts her own needs before those of others, says prosecutor Unni Guldberg. The woman is known as the “trick doctor” because she has previously pretended to be a doctor at Sørlandet Hospital. In 2017, she was sentenced to prison for serious fraud, violence and threats. – She has a destructive way of living, says defender Kristoffer Koch. – Needs help from a psychologist Now she is accused of fraud at Finn.no. She has posted fake ads for iphones, macs and dog harnesses, and received money for it. She has also pretended that she is going to rent out homes in Oslo and Froland, and charged for a deposit. – I am very sorry for that, she says in court. – Do you understand that it is punishable? asks the prosecutor. – Of course, she replies. The mother of small children says that she will do everything she can to get out of the “pattern”. – You have been convicted of similar cases in the past. Why are you doing it again?, asks the prosecutor. – I would have liked to have realized that myself. It’s a bit difficult to give an explanation as to why I do it, when I don’t really know myself. In the first instance, I need help from a psychologist to talk about it and figure it out.
